A POP or Filmation fan is probably going to care more about Frosta's hair color than someone with a more casual interest in the character. It's like that with Rattlor's armor. A vintage fan probably either won't miss the armor or wouldn't be fussed abiut the armor showing up in a weapons pak. A 200X fan might want a whole Rattlor variant. Casual fans might not understand the fuss over something the hardcore fans would want.

POP and Filmation are my main connections but this is one instance where I'm good to go with the design choice they made. That hair just looks flippin' awesome. None of these look 100% out of Filmation anyway and they still look great (Bow anyone?). I agree with a lot of people that the main issue is the dull/gray white.

I love that the Matty Sale page for her has a loose picture with correct arms, and a packaged one with incorrect forearms!

...ROLL THE DICE BABY!!!!...DO YA FEEL LUCKY?

Very interesting that it does not state on the sale page that there is a defect with this figure. That is why DOS buyers do not get the "gift", because they know what they are getting, but really they dont.

frosta looks better *other then the hair and the gray* but is She-Ra starting to get mold marks on her legs?

No, it's no mold. It's paint and it's from the strangest place. It's the silver/blue paint on the bottom of the feet that was used to print the production marks. That paint is nowhere else to be found on the figure, yet it somehow ended up on the legs.

Woof! I see myself trying to overlook the face and be optimistic but especially standing next to the Star Sisters, Frosta's face really looks bad. I'm trying to squint and sorta accept her features are just "exotic". But the other female faces are just so much prettier. I'm still happy with it overall, but I really wish the face came out better.

This is certainly looking great - lips look much better - and the eyes are looking better as well - would be cool to have a tutorial, but either way, thanks so much for your PM. I didn't get Frosta (and can't afford a subscription) but if I had her, I would definately paint her face and possibly her outfit.

Oh btw, you are going to give her some eye-liner right - for the sculpted eye-lashes bit

I gave my Frosta the Teela shield from the weapons pack (the light blue one).

I also plan on giving her the blue sword (most are giving it to Netossa) from the new Weapons pack coming in October. (I don't have Netossa).

The Sword could work, I'm just fine with Frosta posed with the Fan staff. I'm not even sure I'm giving Netossa her sword, but I'm looking into a mask for her.

Seriously? Star Sister look better? Not really. Frosta even with her flaws blows any of those 3 away.

I agree, Star Sisters are horrible figures, to say they look better than Frosta, despite her flaws....is an insult. Starla is the best one, and even she looks like she was punched in the face and is seeing....well, stars.

And what's got you on a roll this morning, usually you don't post on here....ever....

Bored, surgery, pain, no wife or kids today, ya know! PEACE! Catching up on toy news across the boards today. Loving these new MOTUC figures, glad I decided to give the sub another go, after getting shafted last year repeatedly, so far no issues with either sub.

And I saw all the people griping over Frosta, and I think she's a great figure, much better than 99% of the 30th ann figures (not counting Draego), and much better than a lot of the other Classics like Faceless one, Megator blah blah. But whatever, I guess some people want these things to come alive or something and keep them company, they're toys, and a lot of other lines have fugly ass Females. Star Wars can't get Padme right to save their asses, and I think Natalie Portman is pretty damn hot!

Yet her toys look like ass, and we complain a toy based on a toy based on a cartoon looks bad, when they can't get one based on a real face right, let alone make a disproportionate doll that's supposed to empower little girls into thinking that is normal to look like that? No, sorry, I'll endorse Netossa to my little girl before letting her think Barbie is what she's supposed to look like. At least Netossa has back, even if it's only simulated. Not to mention a much more realistic face than Barbie.

Wow! You are a great painter. She looks 100 times better. I have also repainted some of my female figures faces as well (to make them prettier). What kind of brushes and paint did you use?

Oh, I had to practice on my Glenn heads several times before I had the guts to try and repaint Frosta. It surprised me that I was able to do it, especially because I have flare-ups of Carpal Tunnel in the hand I paint with. If the production factory had painted her the way she was sculpted, her face wouldn't be as bad. I won't even go into the gray issue.

She's a much better figure than it seems, it's the two issues above that knock her down.

Paints were acrylics, brushes were 0 round and 18/0 liner.

Classics TGR figures should be Filmation-based, but they NEED MORE COWBELL!
